What problem does it solve?
Litestar applications often require handling domain-specific values that default serializers can't interpret. This skill provides a reliable pattern for decoding and encoding such custom types, ensuring inputs/outputs remain strongly typed and API schemas stay accurate.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Register type decoders and encoders at the appropriate layer to enable seamless round-trips for custom domain values.
- Preserve OpenAPI schema generation while supporting nonstandard representations, improving client compatibility and validation.
- Use cases include handling domain values like ids, codes, or enums that don't map to built-in scalars, with end-to-end validation and test coverage.
Quick Start
Define the domain type, register decoders/encoders, and wire it into Litestar route handlers.
